Shooting Off The Dribble (30 mins)

Set Up:

Players are lined up 8-10 yards apart with a gates 1 yard wide. One ball per group.

How It Works:

Players are performing laces passing (top of foot) to each other.

Straight On: For Groups having trouble with locking ankle/pointing toes straight down, they should start straight on with no angle (i.e. laces strike ball right through gate).

Shoot with Correct Angle: Once players are comfortable locking their angle, they start off 1 yard behind the gates and touch ball to side and forward to create correct angle to shoot. (Far left of picture.)

Players alternate right/left foot.

Players can keep score. Perform for 7-12 MIN

Progression:

Set up:

2 goals opposite with 3 cones one yard apart on route to goal (Right side of per picture above).

Players are divided between 2 lines and goalkeepers are placed in each goal.

How it Works:

Player dribbles through at decent speed between cones, touches ball out and fires.

After shot, they collect ball and go around goal behind other line and continues. OR Players go behind same line and team with most goals after 2-3 minutes wins. We want players to have at least 12-15 shots per foot.

Goals/cones will be adjusted for so players work on left foot.

Key Factors:

1. Open up with first touch/take extra touch if ball is stuck and get ball on 25 degree angle

2. Point toes down

3. Lock ankle

4. Support leg in line with ball, pointed at target. Body over ball.

5. Swing through ball (hit hard, don't kill it)

6. Land on shooting leg when possible
